I just hung up with a client located on the E40's in Manhattan. Tons of sirens to the point where he felt compelled to check on what was up.
He came back to the phone and said there had just been a massive explosion near their building, and that they were evacuating.
Any NYC Freepers have any information on this? Happened at 6 PM EDT or there abouts.

Hope nobody was under the manhole cover when it came back down.... Because Norton had called in sick.
